Post-installation steps for Secure SD-WAN in the Engine/VPN role

There are some steps to follow after you have completed the installation, installed a basic policy, and turned the Engines online.

Note: The configuration information is stored on the Management Server. Most changes are transferred to the engines only when you install or refresh the Engine Policy.

The basic administration tasks you must learn or complete next include the following:

  • Read and control the operating state of Engines.
  • Adjust the automatic tester that monitors the operation of the Engines and the surrounding network.
  • Develop your Engine Policies further.

The most typical customization steps include:

  • Configure multiple network connections for load-balanced, highly available networking.
  • Configure traffic management for incoming connections to groups of servers.
  • Set up bandwidth management and traffic prioritization policies.
  • Configure the engine to redirect traffic to proxy services.
  • Configure secure connectivity between different locations and for traveling users.
